I just feel like I'm not good enough, in general. I'm not a good enough cosplayer, I'm not good enough for anyone, and I'm feeling especially bummed out about it right now.

But I guess people use this as a drive to further and better themselves, right? I just can't seem to do so right now. I feel pretty terrible.

[Anonymous No.7644358]

A couple months ago I met a guy on some anime convention, we hit off almost instantly. He's a very sweet and unique guy, although a bit shy and not very social. We exchanged contacts and chatted for about a month until I asked him if he wanted to hang out with me, that's when we had our first date. We're still going out together and everything is fine.

A few days ago I asked him about his past relationships and he said that he never had any, and that he never had sex. He explained in a very mature way that he had gone and still goes through some problems, and said he wanted to be open and sincere with me.

I don't really mind, I never liked the idea of being his first. The problem is that I don't think he'd be ok with my past, he told me that he never wanted to have casual sex, that he never wanted to buy prostitutes like some of his friends do, he even said he turned down sex once because the girl had a boyfriend and he thought it was wrong.
I feel insecure because I've done many of those things, I've had boyfriends, friends with benefits, one night stands, threesomes with men, I even had sex with my married older boss when I was 18 for a raise.

Thankfully he didn't ask about my past, but I don't know what to do if he does. I really don't wanna stop seeing him.

[Anonymous No.7644365]

Anon, my boyfriend is exactly like you described, and he gives precisely zero fucks about my sexual history (I should say that I never have and never will sleep with someone who's married/in a relationship). If this guy is really as mature as you think he is, he won't stop seeing you as long as you're committed to him and you explain that you don't do those things anymore. As for sleeping with your boss, 18 year olds do dumb shit. It wasn't okay, but he'll probably forgive you.

That said, you don't have to go out of your way to tell him. Just be honest with him and answer any questions he has. He might not ask because he doesn't want to know. And don't lie if he asks you something directly, because that will make it seem like you have something current to hide.

[Anonymous No.7644368]

>>7644358
He probably won't ask about your history because he doesn't have any and he knows you do since pretty much every girl knows it's OK to have sex these days. But unless your former boss was in a really shitty marriage he couldn't get out of, you deserve to feel like shit for sleeping with a married man just so you could get a raise at Hot Topic or McDonald's or where ever the fuck you were working at as a teenager.

He'll likely never ask as he has no experience whatsoever but you never know how he'll handle finding out some extremely promiscuous sexual events hidden in your past. The kind of ego-shattering, heartbreaking discovery that can forever poison how you view someone.

It's common to meet someone, and try to convince yourself that maybe their sexual history won’t be that bad, and then you find out the gritty details and it wrecks you a little (or a lot). It might leave him feeling inadequate but who knows really, everyone's different. And if you have ever confronted a partner about their sexual past, you probably know how horribly wrong it can go.

My boyfriend draws hentai for a living and there's this one OC that he's had for quite some time. Recently, I saw a picture of a girl that he told me he was obsessed with in high school for many years. His OC looks almost exactly like her, but he denies that it's based off anyone he knows in real life. I get easily jealous, and I'm worried that maybe he still thinks about her. We've been together for about a year and a half, so I don't know why I'm acting like this. I know he would never cheat...

The guy clearly has a personality type which holds that intimacy is extremely valuable and should not be a casual thing.

His first relationship is equally clearly with someone who does not.

That sort of mismatch in expectations, needs and desires will definitely cause problems down the line.

Also, studies have shown over and over again that the more sexual partners you have had the less likely you are to be able to form a permanent attachment to one person.

Here's just one:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3737.2003.00444.x/abstract

There's nothing really wrong with not anchoring yourself to one person, but to pretend that someone who clearly DOES want that sort of permanent attachment should get over it, and that other people like him are *wrong* for caring about the single biggest indicator of whether or not the other person wants the same thing is kinda messed up. It's like saying that a girl who wants kids should get with a guy who hates kids because there's nothing wrong with not wanting to be a father.

It's your responsibility to have a single ounce of moral fiber and keep a fucking leash on your soppy, quivering vagina around married men. Women are the gatekeepers of sex, if you open the gate for a married man while you KNOW he is married then you are equally at fault. You don't just sit there and throw up your hands and say "well it's his fault for fucking me when he was married, I'm just along for the ride here." You participated in the act and became complicit in the crime.

I don't really know why I should have to explain why empathy is more important than having risky sex with a married guy. I mean, I understand that older men are so hot and all that, it's a thing.

Unlikely.

It's not a smart move, because it makes your superior devalute your actual work and it put you in a position of weakness (if you stop having sex with me I fire you), but it's the only problem here. As I said earlier, if it wasn't with this 18 yo chick that would have been with another.

The "crime"? Dear lord, anon. Let's get a few things straight. Take a deep breath for a second.

I am not a cheater. I have never cheated and never will. I have been with the same guy for five years, and I am not attracted to old men. You can keep trying to strawman me if you want, but it won't work and adds nothing to a debate on ethics.

This idea of "women being the gatekeepers of sex" shows your real point, which is that you seem to think that guys have no real agency in sex - that if they're invited, they'll go for it no matter what. This is an incredibly condescending attitude to take towards men in general. If a woman "opens the gate", it is the job of the married man to not step through it. If I go to a store with no security cameras, it is my job to not steal from it. In this case, it is the job of the man to not sleep around (because it will cause emotional harm to his loved ones). He is making the choice to ruin his marriage by stepping through the gate - nobody else is. Saying that it's other people's fault for "tempting him" is a weak argument. If my boyfriend cheated on me, he would be to blame, not "the other woman". She has no obligation to respect my relationship, because she's not in it.

>>7644735

That's a pretty dramatic oversimplification. Specifically, it is not anyone's obligation to stop other people from doing self-destructive things - or anything else, for that matter. If some guy wants to ruin his marriage, that's his own problem. It is not the job of women (or men) everywhere to treat the other sex with kid gloves and act as their therapist. If two consenting adults agree to have sex, they can deal with the ramifications - whether that's hurt feelings or anything else. They knew what they were getting into and made their own informed, conscious choices about what they would entail.

[Anonymous No.7644786]

I'm in the later half of my 20s and I'm not sure what direction to go in with my life.
Part of me thinks I should get a real career because I'm tired of being a poorfag and am worried about not being accomplished professionally. No time for cosplaying, not as much as I want to, but enough money for lolita and vacations, dinners out etc. plus planning for retirement and such.
But the rest of me wants to take advantage of my youth before it's all gone and really focus on cosplay. Get a part time job and make just enough money to fund stuff I want and a little savings. I don't even really care about my professional accomplishments, I'd rather do stuff I actually enjoy. I don't want to be in my mid 30s and look back and regret not doing this stuff while I still kind of had the looks for it. Plus I'll probably get tired of it in the next few years anyway and find something else to focus on.

I mentioned ruining his life because the cheating couple was the focus of the issue, but just because I didn't mention it would ruin his family's life doesn't imply I wasn't considering it. Someone else addressed that up above.

>>7644747
All of the "you"s I used were hypothetical, but good job taking it all personally.

Anyway regardless of what you say, sex is an act performed by two individuals. The woman opens the gate and lets the man in, and if she does so knowing full well that he's married then she shares the blame. He's also to blame! But that doesn't mean she's not. He has agency and can choose to cheat, and she has agency and can choose to not participate in cheating. When you're fucking someone in a relationship you're actively helping them cheat, I can't spell it out more obviously than that.

>>she has no obligation to respect my relationship

Different anon, I don't really give a crap about stepping into your guys argument over cheating and marriage or whatever but I just want to point out this kind of thinking is dumb. You don't think it's possible for the woman to be the one who wants sex aggressively, and the guy is the one unzipping his pants and letting her in? Or a mutual decision arrived at by two consenting adults? This line of thinking is outdated and not really based on anything other than vaginas look like entryways and "lul all guys want to fuck everything constantly"

I was both addressing you and a number of people above who said similar things. It was just easier to do so in one post instead of making several. Again - calm down.

Yes, the woman is also involved in sex, obviously. The issue isn't that she's not - the issue is that she is not in a relationship. She did not take any vows to protect this guy's wife - the guy did. He cheats on his wife with her. It is 100% his choice, barring some sort of absurd extenuating circumstance (like rape, or a gun to his head, or blackmail or whatever else). He chooses to wound his wife emotionally by sleeping with this woman. Why is it her responsibility to uphold someone else's marriage? I'd be interested in an actual answer other than "you just don't do that".

>>7644800
You keep repeating yourself, so I'll ask again: why is it the woman's (or in another case, the man's) responsibility? It's not her relationship.

This is the most important thing. Don't cut yourself off from him if you don't want to. It won't be good for you, and a lot of people itt seem to have lost track of the fact that it won't be good for him either. He's already "shy and not very social," and that sort of maladjusted behavior will only escalate if you push him away. If you like this guy at all you don't want him to end up on wizardchan. Be decent to yourself, be considerate, be compassionate to both him and your past self, and learn to forgive yourself, it's the best thing you can do for both you AND him.

I'm honestly astounded that you're asking these questions. I'll give you one good reason: Empathy. You see a married guy and you understand that fucking him would ruin his family's life. So you don't do that because you understand that ruining the life of a family is wrong, regardless of what vows or contracts you've signed. You understand that human responsibility doesn't simply derive from literal vows or contracts. You understand how that kind of suffering can cause an enormous amount of unnecessary strife in the lives of innocent people. You understand that while the man might not have the foresight to prevent that in this case, you do. You understand that suffering feels bad and you would not want to feel that pain yourself, so causing it in someone else's life is terrible.

Empathy. Morality. These are things normal people understand. Why don't you?

It requires two to have sexual relations (mindblowing, I know). Why does one person carry less responsibility (or even none) than the other? Unless >>7644753 happens, both parties are at EQUAL fault. What happens afterwards that is a result of both parties actions. Just because you don't give a shit of what potentially could occur as a result of your actions does not mean you had any less of a part in it.

[Anonymous No.7644850]

>>7644833
The foresight? Are you joking? He doesn't realize the feelings of his own wife, but the woman is supposed to understand them better than he does? Are you really making excuses for hypothetical cheating men?

As I said before, I have never cheated and never would. I do have empathy for other people. The issue is responsibility, not empathy. Would I sleep with a married man? No, I would not. Does that mean it's my responsibility not to? Again, no. It's his responsibility not to cheat in his own relationship. If he elects to sleep around, that's on him and no other party.

I can't tell if you're being deliberately obtuse or not. The question is not "will sleeping with married people result in emotional pain in others". The question is "whose job is it to prevent that emotional pain". That would be the person in the relationship, who is hurting them. Not the third party.

If you see something terrible happening and you have the ability to stop it, it becomes your responsibility. You don't sit on your hands and look for someone who took a vow that they'd stop it to show up and fix the problem, especially if that person is the one perpetrating the issue. I brought up empathy because this is a basic part of the human condition - if you see a wrongdoing being committed, you want to stop it. You don't start fucking the person committing it and then claim it wasn't your responsibility to help.

As a 27-year-old male virgin I would like to offer my expert opinion on this post.

>You should probably be honest
If you're going to be honest then be fully honest. Which means not just telling him about your past, but about your present. How you feel about him and how you feel about your relationship with him in the here and now, and your intentions for the future. If he is actually special to you now then you can tell him that alone in all the world of men-a world in which you have walked for many years-you have found him alone to be one to have and to hold and to be true to. Don't say "I have been in lots of relationships and they have meant nothing and broken" and leave it at that. If you love him, then love him deeply and fully and without fear or restraint. That doesn't just mean "confess your misdeeds in full" it also means "confess your hopes, dreams, and love in full." Opening your heart completely like that may be scarier than just telling him about the worst aspects of yourself, because if he walks away from *all* of you then it would be a more complete rejection, but I do not think he will walk away. You seem like an earnest, honest, empathic woman, albeit one who has done some bad things in the past (for which you seem sorry). There is more to love in you than you know. And remember, letting him know you is a process. It happens slowly, and in an ordered fashion; trust is not built in a day.

>he will probably dump you
He didn't start this relationship and he is not too likely to end it unless he is afraid that you will end it first or will violate its trust. That fear is very real, the urge to reject in order to avoid rejection, and particularly strong in avoidant men like me. He may see your earlier promiscuity as a danger sign, which is why it is important to establish trust firmly first before entrusting him with that part of your past.

Aw I don't know, it's lovely being treated like a pet, being looked after and loved and feeling special. Submission doesn't mean being treated like shit constantly, porn likes to show it that way but that's because it's a very visual medium.
I think I've got more emotional connection and even footing out of my submissive relationship with my dominant partner than out of any "normal" relationship that I've ever had.
It really is to each his own though, my partner and I are very open which has meant we're up for exploring each other's kinks - if I were in a vanilla relationship I'd never dream of asking my partner to do any of those things you described.

On the other hand, I would hate to be treated like a pet and would never, ever let someone collar me. My best friend, however, loves submitting in that way to her finance.

I have this friend who has been having financial troubles lately, so I paid her bills for a few months last year while she got back on her feet. Now she's having financial troubles again, and I'm really surprised, because she made many new cosplays in the past few months and went to several conventions. So I'm guessing she didn't budget at all when she did that. She's asking for my help again, and while I don't mind paying for her medicine and making sure she doesn't get evicted, I really don't want to give her money if she can afford her own rent if she just went to less conventions and budget beyond the current month. But I'm shit at being mean to people and just sent her money again. I wish I could yell at her but she probably won't take it well and I do value our friendship.

It's me again, I know no one gives a shit but I like writing here anyway, it helps clear my thoughts.
So I thought about it and I realized that the happiest times in my life were all more or less when I had extra spending money to do with what I pleased, rather it be buying lots of fashion shit, animu, going out to fancy dinners or vacations. So now I'm thinking that's the route I should take.
I don't even really like making costumes or going to cons, I just like getting epats and I really want to be cosfamous (I KNOW it's stupid, but I just want to)
But I also want to be lolita/jfashion famous and I have a lot more fun doing those things, and those are also a limited time/youthful thing. The difference is they require more money than time so working more makes sense, whereas I'd have to work less to do more cosplay. So maybe it makes more sense to go for that. I could probably still pull off 1-3 costumes a year, plus if I had money I could buy or commission some of the pieces I don't want to do.
Bleh, really I wish I could just work part time and make a ton of money doing that, but isn't that everyone's dream? (inb4 camming)

I feel terrible about going about a breakup the way that I did. I was dating him for a long while, we've known each other for years and years. In the last six months he became really physically aggressive and abusive, snapping at me and making me feel worthless if I got the slightest thing wrong. English isn't my first language and if I ever misunderstood something he would flip out and hit me, at that point I'd had enough and left. It was such a sudden switch, he'd always been really sweet and caring and we were kinda opposites but we made the effort to be interested in each others hobbies/interests and he always loved my style and thought I was adorable in lolita. I left, as I said, and went back to my mother's house for a little while because I was scared of him. I told him I'd had enough, put up with enough beatings and him lashing out verbally and that I thought we should break up. He seemed ok with that and we said goodbye, parted, sorted things out about moving, but after a few days he started calling me again and harassing me and being obnoxious and so I just deleted him, blocked him and completely cut him out of my life. My mother told me I was being ridiculous and childish by doing that but I felt it was what was safest for me at the time, we live in the same town, he could come and see me at any time, so I felt that removing him from my life was a positive.

Actually, you need more fiber in your diet. With too little fiber + lots of water, everything will run right through (diarrhea), with too much fiber you will be gassy and even go more frequently, but when you do go it will be more formed.

Recently, I've been obsessed with finding something to cosplay for an upcoming con in September, since my faulty reasoning is that if I finally make a cosplay, I'll be recognized by people who are into the same series and hopefully gain some friends.

Essentially, I've been running mental circles trying to find a character that fits both my preferences and my pitifully limited sewing/crafting abilities, simply because my attention-starved brain believes this may somehow lead me to find friends. I'm utterly pathetic, but goddamn, I cannot stop. Call it attention-whoring, call it delusional, but until I find a character that fits my awkward, man-faced self I will not rest.

Join a club related to your interests. Since we're on cgl, try an anime club. It'll be fall so there should be lots of new members exploring clubs and looking for friends. I feel like anime clubs get a lot of stories/flack for being full of weebs but I've stuck with mine for the past 3 years and I love most people that attend my meetings. imo, it's totally okay to be quiet at meetings but definitely speak up and try to connect with others if somebody talks about something you like!

If anime isn't your thing, try and go out when people invite you to. My first and only year in a dorm, everybody was out to invite each other to get friendly and stuff.

Not that anon, and I don't know how it works in the states (I'm assuming you're US because 'fall'), but here we have a week or two weeks of social events run by the uni called the Fresher's Fair (or just Freshers). My uni had two weeks, and there was stuff like club nights, quizzes, a night at a comedy club and free tickets to London Zoo. If you go to as many of those events as you can and just talk to people, you're bound to click with somebody, and you'll get invited out again.

I dunno either, to be honest (my uni has a decent engineering program, nothing special). To be honest, I think she'd be fine either way. She's very social and she can make friends pretty easy. I was talking with my mother about it and she thinks it might hurt my friend than help her. She's already changed her major more than once already so I don't expect her to stay in engineering tbh.

>>7645372
Both of us are a semester ahead because we took some community college courses in high school, so she IS taking organic chemistry and stuff this semester. She's pretty smart and social anyways, so I think she'd be fine regardless of the housing situation she was in. She's already changed her major a few times already, honestly, so I'd be shocked if she actually stays in the engineering school.

All freshmen are required to live-on campus, but I have a good engineering friend who had to live off-campus for medical reasons and he did just fine. The housing department was really pissed at him, but his family basically said, "fuck you people" and he got what he wanted. What makes me angry is that the housing department fed my friend this line of "It'll wreck your future!!" shit and she believes them. But I have to respect her decision. I'm not mad at her because she's my friend, but I'm just mad at the university for not fucking telling us five months ago.

oh anon, don't apologize, I'm sorry that this is happening to you too. My dad doesn't really do much either to defend me because he's too afraid of her. It's the fear that really gets me. he's a man in his mid-50s and it just feels so unfair that he has to live in fear of a person when he's a grown adult, you know?

It's both a good and a bad thing that she's not like this every single day. Good because I actually have good moments with her. Bad because when a bad day/weekend happens with her, because she can be so kind and supportive, it's easier to blame myself for her nastiness. I'm getting better about that though. Now I just pity her, the condescending meaning of "pity". I now think she's pathetic for displacing and projecting her anger when she's stressed out about something unrelated.

I know I still have a lot of work to do about it, but if you haven't started already, I recommend therapy. It's at the very least a good place to go and vent to someone who is paid to sit there and listen and not judge you for what you say.

I grew up with social anxiety but wasn't diagnosed until I was 20. I'm on medication for it now, but I still have some lingering effects, mostly the fact that I think my friends hate me.

I basically always assume people are saying bad stuff about me, that they think I'm stupid, that I'm annoying them, that I'm making them mad, etc.
It doesn't hurt that my best friend recently did get mad over me about something petty, and we're no longer close.
One of my friends is so good to me, I always say "I think ____ is mad at me" to her at cons and she reassures me that everything is fine, but now I'm convinced I'm bothering her with that.

I'm not sure how easy this would be for you, but in my opinion it's best to be blunt or straight forward with problems with people.

Saying "I think ___ is mad at me," or talking to them directly and asking if they're mad can usually help dissolve tension, or at least lead to a resolution, so maybe you could try talking to more people about it, and then you won't have to feel like you're bothering your one friend so much.

but like, don't be too dickish about it like "Y U MAD AT ME?!" cause that can come off as aggressive or overly defensive

I used to be more direct, but calm, saying things like "hey is everything ok? I feel like you might be mad at me", but then I realized I they were saying "no I'm not mad" even if they were.
...Of course, this is the friend I'm not close with anymore. I think part of it was just her. Idk. I kind of want to go to her and say "you're important to me and I was to fix our friendship", but she causes me so much stress and anxiety that I don't think it would end well.

[Anonymous No.7645601]

Either your friend said it because they realize they aren't really mad or it isn't important, or they'd rather avoid it and pout.

If she honestly causes large amount of negativity, you maybe shouldn't be friends, or at least close friends. All friends fight, but if it's a really frequent thing that honestly hurts you for a long period of time you should probably stay away.

Yeah, it is unfair. I mean my dad isn't the best but he doesn't deserve what he gets. And he tries SO damn hard but my mom is so fucking unreasonable, even when he tries she just snaps at him for getting some little thing wrong.
I kind of think people for whatever reason choose to be in that position.. but I don't know, maybe I'm just justifying it to feel better. Whenever I ask about it he always just says "because I love her" but she's so awful and I know she really hurts him. It's like he's a masochist, or something. He also says he doesn't want to divorce because she'd have nowhere to go, which is true, but she kind of deserves it. I feel like even paying stupid amounts of alimony would be preferable to constant abuse, but I don't know.
She is also kind and supportive to me sometimes but over the years I've gotten more immune to it and realize it's usually to get something or she shows love by giving me things, like she's trying to buy me, or prove something. I guess yours is a little different, I always wonder if mine is borderline or something but I think she's more calculated than that. She's more of a classic abuser, I think she is aware of what she is doing though maybe only subconsciously.
It's sad because if the genders were reversed it would be so fucking obvious, wouldn't it.
I did go to therapy for awhile and my therapist really sympathized with me and suggested cutting off my mom. But I can't really afford that anymore. It's helping you? Did they suggest anything useful?

Kinks are a bit different. I'm no prude, but I think that sharing stuff like that isn't really with someone who's not already or potentially a sex partner. Mostly because no one else needs to know that information but someone who is or wants to be involved in it. Especially since a lot of kinks are things people wouldn't normally like, it can be really offputting, not just because of the kink itself but for someone to imagine you in a sexual situation. I've got my share of kinks but it makes me really uncomfortable to know about other peoples' if I don't want anything to do with them that way.

She has literally been telling everyone about her breakup from the sounds of our last conversation. I want to be empathetic but I can't because I honestly just think she needs to calm the fuck down and figure out what went wrong in their relationship to either fix it or get over it instead of running around to everyone and crying about it - lbr that solves nothing but allowing yourself to indulge in sadness.

My other friends sort of welcomed her when she said she might consider coming to the upcoming con, but I mean what else could they have done right?

We've been dating for 2 years and she still doesn't know my fetishes.

After 2 years you guys should really open up about that kind of thing. it's a really tame fetish anyway

Well, the two big projects I was trying to finish were for me and a friend, and if I rush trying to finish them then I'll be stuck with a shitty cosplay anyway. The two that need finishing are smaller projects, shouldn't take more than a day anyway.

We have other cosplays that are already (mostly) done, but I just feel so bad that I didn't get to finish our big ones that we were striving for.

I know it's tame... just embarrassing to ask. I dunno. I would feel awkward telling her.

Seconding what >>7645811 said,
it's pretty tame so maybe when you're in the mood or something you could bring up like a plan to dress up or something

also the "uhhh i like basic boring things" from boyfriends
I feel that bored feel

[Anonymous No.7645824]

>>7645815
That's still more way interesting and sexy than sweaters. Like that sounds like what bill cosby would have as a fetish or something.

My comm just feels so draining at the moment.

New members not willing to do their own research, flouncing, creating their own ita-tastic splinter groups because boohoo older members mean to me (not willing to listen or take advice)!!!!!! Then someone keeps trying to start crap within the comm by shit posting members here.

That old chestnut.

Shit is getting really tedious.

There are a couple of ways. Does she ever wear short skirts or socks? If she does always encourage her to leave them on. If she doesn't
>you know what would be really hot? if you wore some cute thigh highs, maybe a short skirt
Or you can just
>Hey anon's gf, do you have any fantasies about me?
If she says no keep pressing her because there's got to be something, if not make her feel like she should have one. And then when she opens up says you'd like it if she wore short skirts and socks.

I don't use the term "slut" lightly. But goddammit it would be hard to not use it in this situation.

Yo, not that anon, but sweaters are fucking hot. Not just because they're warm, but because they're fucking hot.

High heels are awesome too. I fucking love high heels.

Go for it! Everybody has something they like. Even if she just likes having missionary with the lights out, that's still a turn on. So she definitely has something and then there's your opportunity to talk about what you like. Just don't bring up the thing about cosplayers lol. Good luck anon

Boys I hang out with make jokes about me being a lesbian all the time
"oh your going over to so and so's house, are you going to measure boob sizes/practice kissing /have a pillow fight in your underwear"
stuff like that. my boyfriend thinks it hilarious and jokes about it too.
I do nothing but egg them on.

That feel when my feels towards girls are not always entirely platonic.

Over time its just gotten worse...

Nobody knows about it but super old childhood friend that I haven't seen in years.

My boyfriend is smart enough to figure it out, but is probably too close to the situation or looks the other way.

Not that I want to break up with my boyfriend and run off to be a lesbian but the more the years go by the worse it feels to hide my attraction to other girls.

I just want someone to know.

Honestly, I like both the casual and competitive sides, so I have decks that play to each of those. If I'm playing against total casual decks, I whip out my Rebels deck because Amrou Scout is cute. If I'm against someone talking shit, I pull out my "I'm a sorcerer, Harry" deck and sling around 20 lightning bolts on turn 4. It's all about what you surround yourself with.

>It's sad because if the genders were reversed it would be so fucking obvious, wouldn't it.

Right? That's what sucks about it.

Anyway, I had a great therapist a while back who helped me learn to ignore a lot of it and talk back to the stuff I could talk back to. My most recent one and I focused on slightly different stuff (I was getting over a breakup), but that was only short term since it was through my grad school's university. At this point I can ignore her shit for the most part (a couple comments on social media don't faze me), but hearing what my dad's going through yesterday made me feel guilty all over again. I'm trying to find a long term therapist right now, and I plan on talking to them more about this. especially since I think a lot of what she said to me in my teenage years has negatively affected my self-esteem in the long term.

>some customer has a medical emergency whilst I'm there, all the workers are pretty flustered

>miss the delivery guy by a couple of minutes
>my only chance to pick up the package is tomorrow
>super busy atm, so I won't be able to open it until the day after

This happened to me and it took eight months to sort out, with me calling them every other day. They literally had to sit at a desk, wait for the notification to come through and click okay. No one in the fucking office had an attention span to sort it out.
